"Recently the Spanish media published information on an ongoing investigation connecting allegedly the PM Borissov with a money launering scheme in Barcelona.  Is the Bulgarian Prosecution working on this case, having mind that it received signal on this case already in 2019? If yes, at what stage is the investigation?" This is one of the questions sent to Bulgaria’s Chief Prosecutor Geshev by the Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG). The MEPs published on the web site of the European Parliament 29 questions to Bulgaria’s government, the Deputy Premier, the Prosecutor General and the Deputy Minister of Justice. 

The Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group also asks: What specific measures has the Prosecution taken in the fight against corruption? Have politicians been investigated and chanrged and which political parties do they originate from predominantly? Are they from political parties both in government and in opposition?

The MEPs are also interested in the proposed amendments to Bulgaria’s constitution in the context of protests. "What will the government do to increase transparency of ownership, promote the plurality of media ownership and ensure the safety of journalists?", the monitoring group further asks.
